A historic day in neuroscience! A complete map of the cell types in the mammalian brain. A moonshot just a few years ago. Team science, big science, and open science. Together we go farther! #studyBRAIN

The first cellular map of a mammalian brain is here. 🧠✨
Over 6 years and 32 million cells in the making, the complete adult mouse brain cell-type atlas reveals astonishing diversity and regional specificity.

It's been a dream to bring better treatments to kids with #DIPG & #CNStumors. It's thrilling to announce #BrainChildBio a kids first biotech advancing #CARTcells for CNS tumors (CEO Steve Brugger; CSO Mike Jensen, MD) in partnership with @seattlechildren.

Congratulations to Karikó and Weissman! The 2005 paper that is the basis for the award has a simple hypothesis - that modified bases prevent the immune response to exogenous RNA - which is then tested by well-designed experiments. A classic. cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S…

Where do all those COVID-19 variants come from? @CDCgov testing all volunteers at international arrivals earlier this month in SeaTac airport. Got 4 home-testing kits for participating!

Great to see the people at DeepMind behind AlphaFold get the recognition of a Lasker Award! But award committees, don’t forget that David Baker at UW has been pushing this field forward for years, all in an open academic setting.
